Some dreams are dramatically predictive. Here is a good example by a man who had a dream predicting the assassination attempt of President Reagan:

“I dreamed, in January, 1981, President Reagan, would be shot in the head. I saw the man point the gun and shoot him. I saw, two secret service agents, grab him by his arms, capturing him. The man l identified looked like the man in my dream. A voice said, if you tell someone, he will not die. I called the secret service and they came to my home and interviewed me. I told my dream to them, as I remembered. The rest is history.”

Lincoln had this dream shortly before his assassination:About ten days ago, I retired very late. I had been up waiting for important dispatches from the front. I could not have been long in bed when I fell into a slumber, for I was weary. I soon began to dream. There seemed to be a death-like stillness about me. Then I heard subdued sobs, as if a number of people were weeping. I thought I left my bed and wandered downstairs. There the silence was broken by the same pitiful sobbing, but the mourners were invisible. I went from room to room; no living person was in sight, but the same mournful sounds of distress met me as I passed along. It was light in all the rooms; every object was familiar to me; but where were all the people who were grieving as if their hearts would break?

I was puzzled and alarmed. What could be the meaning of all this? Determined to find the cause of a state of things so mysterious and so shocking, I kept on until I arrived at the East Room, which I entered.

There I met with a sickening surprise. Before me was a catafalque, on which rested a corpse wrapped in funeral vestments. Around it were stationed soldiers who were acting as guards; and there was a throng of people, some gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered, others weeping pitifully. ‘Who is dead in the White House?’ I demanded of one of the soldiers ‘The President’ was his answer; ‘he was killed by an assassin!’ Then came a loud burst of grief from the crowd, which awoke me from my dream.
